"Sam Bennett (1G/3A), Brad Marchand (1G/3A) and Carter Verhaeghe (2G/1A) combined for eleven points in Florida's wild 7-6 overtime victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets that saw Bennett take a pass from Marchand and beat Elvis Merzlikins with four seconds to go in the extra session. Seth Jones had a goal and an assist, Anton Lundell and Evan Rodrigues also scored and Sergei Bobrovsky posted his 11th win, despite giving up six goals on 31 shots."

Ilya Sorokin stopped all 32 shots to post his third shutout of the season, tying the Islanders' franchise record (25) for career shutouts held by Glenn "Chico" Resch. Calum Ritchie scored in the third period and Casey Cizikas added an empty-netter with two seconds left as New York, who is on a three-game winning streak, beat the Bolts for the second time in four days."
